In the mid-1990’s when my wife was in the last stages of Alzheimer’s disease, I got into the habit spending the late hours of the day praying and talking to God. It was during this time that I began to sense God urging me to do something that I would never have considered doing, and certainly did not feel qualified to do under any circumstance: He continually persisted in my writing an exposition on the seven churches of the book of Revelation. Every night it was the same: He would bring it up, and I would argue that I was not qualified to undertake writing on the Bible, nor did I have the slightest insight regarding the seven churches. This went on for some time, and eventually I came across a book that had been written on the seven churches of Revelation. I thought that this was my “Aha” moment, and I immediately brought it to God’s attention, thinking that I was off the hook. No such luck, for God (as I have learned) always has a Plan B that is better, and usually bigger, in mind, and that’s when He hit me with probably what He had in mind all along: writing a commentary on the entire book of Revelation. This hit me like a ton of bricks: I had felt unqualified to write on the seven churches, now I was confronted with something so overwhelming there was no question about my inadequacy. Undoubtedly, that is where He wanted me to be all the time: totally dependent on Him for every idea, concept and interpretation that I put to paper (or computer screen in this case).

So I began to study, search and write, and the words seemed to keep coming. This was something totally new to me. I had co-authored a couple of technical books in my last job as a teacher, but this was different. Here I was dealing with subjects for which I could not reach down within to draw up understanding: I had to depend totally on Him.

I do not want to leave readers with the impression that everything in this book is right out of God’s mouth. What I hope is contained therein is what God gave, processed through an ordinary layman’s mind and body, and therefore susceptible to some misunderstanding. Several years ago a friend asked me why I thought God would give me knowledge that He had not given other men. My answer was that God is no respecter of persons (Ac. 10:34), He gives knowledge to those who have the greatest need and desire, with no consideration of status or position in the world. In fact, He seems to favor the least capable or honorable (1 Co. 12:22-24).

This work can be downloaded, in part or whole.

My hope is that God will use this to change lives.

Hat Tip to Bryan for sending me this great video link. He always sends what I need when I need it. We need to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves, because there is great wickedness afoot. People do not always tell you the truth, but you can always count on and lean on and look to our Creator God, the one who loved us so much He gave Himself a ransom on our behalf. May you know Him and walk with Him through the perilous times we live in. I remember thinking that Y2K was a bit too early and yet that people needed to be preparing and being wise stewards and that it was not a wasted exercise to plan to survive rough times. Well drought has come to Oklahoma, spending still runs amok in DC, and wars still continue on foreign shores and on our southern border. Undeclared all, but people dying none-the-less. Ask the Lord what you need to do to protect your family and your community during the days ahead. Pray without ceasing. Look to God and not man for solutions and direction. Call on the name of the Lord in time of need. Keep looking up! Blessings/sc

Thomas Horn at the Southwest Radio Bristol Conference 2011 hints at the incredible reasons he wrote the best selling book “Apollyon Rising 2012” and what ancient pagan cultures and founding Freemasons in the United States believed and encoded on the Great Seal and the layout of Capitol Center in Washington DC concerning the coming of a Pagan god in 2012. This would not be believable if not for Tom Horn’s credentials and access to scholars in history, theology, and occultism, two-dozen of whom helped him with this book. The power at work behind global affairs and current planetary powers are hurriedly aligning for a New Order from Chaos. Why?

Is it possible that the most popular actors and actressses of the 20th and 21st centuries have been, and are, being possessed by demons? Listen to the confessions of the Hollywood elite as they describe how they are truly energized by demonic spirits for their performances. Journey with us again as we pull back the curtain even further on the most powerful mind-shaping institution in the world. Hollywood Unmasked 2 will reveal more hidden truths that were unknown to the average viewer… until now.

This is a must see video.

It is 84:28 minutes in length. It is actually part 2 (the first part is on violence). Over 4300 views at time of posting.

David Reagan opened with a look at his church sign collection through the years – unbelievable and funny too! This session was on “End Time Prophecies of Jesus primarily from Matthew 24 but also Matthew 11: 20-23 and three cities gone today (Capernaum, Bethsaida, and Chorazin)

Signs:

1) the sign of cults (false Christs and false prophets)

wolves in sheeps clothing gnostics and Judiasers

2) the sign of world politics (wars and rumors of wars)

violence between nations and within nations

3) natural disasters (famines and earthquakes and famines and plagues and signs from heaven – roaring of the sea or tsunamis)

THESE THINGS ARE THE BEGINNINGS OF BIRTH PANGS — increase in frequency and intensity

4) Christian persecution (hindu and muslim areas especially)

Nigeria a Christian was recently elected and violence has erupted

5) Apostasy in the church

6) The breakdown of society

just as it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24: 37) characterized by immorality and violence

Hollywood influence — moral polluter of planet earth

7) Preaching of the gospel – will be preached in the whole world (translations of the Bible / modern technology) — The Jesus Movie!

Jesus is returning soon. We are living on borrowed time. He is either your blessed hope or your holy terror. Be Ready! Keep looking up~

You are either under the grace of God or the wrath of God.

John 3: 36

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

The Mid-America Prophecy Conference will be in Tulsa this weekend April 28-30th 2011. There is a special room rate and lots of speakers scheduled for the weekend. I am planning to attend and will do a little social networking during the conference if the internet is available to share the event as it occurs. Of course if you can attend, all the better.
